The Cross

The cross is one of the most recognizable symbols on planet earth. It was also one of the most cruel implements of death devised by man. If there were a museum of death – the cross would probably sit side by side with the gallows, the electric chair and the guillotine. Imagine someone wearing an electric chair ornament around their neck? Yet millions wear the cross on chains, bracelets, and pins. They adorn tee-shirts, top off church steeples, and are permanently tattooed on human bodies. The cross represents the innermost workings of evil in man but it also demonstrates the outward demonstration of love, and the heart of God to redeem man to Himself. When he hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing.
Galatians 3:13
The cross – you can’t miss it! The cross – You can’t live without it!
